绪论 - 什么是性行为? |
对性行为定义先行考虑的问题 |
在进入后续的课程之前,我们应该指出,“行为”本身的概念是复杂的,并且是需要进一步澄清的。例如,许多学者把“行为”区分为“显现的(overt)”和“未显的(covert)”两类,即:
因而,在阐述性行为的概念中,我们可以区分出“性举动(sexual
act)(显现的)和纯碎的性感觉(sexual
feeling)(未显的),所以我们可以把性行为在“行为”的术语涵盖下包括这两种状态。当然,这种区分也有其缺点,不过,无论如何,这种缺点所隐含的意义只不过涉及某些专家。为方便学习本导论课,我们没有在性行为的所有方面做进一步阐述和分析。我们只是把我们自己的定义规定得相对地简单一些。 |

Introduction - What is sexual behavior? |
Our Definition 1 - What is “behavior”?
|
Before proceeding further, it should be pointed out that the concept of “behavior” itself is complex and needs some additional clarification. For example, many writers distinguish between “overt” and “covert” behavior, i.e.
1.
behavior that is “acted out” and visible
(overt)
and 2.
mere psychological reactions without any visible manifestations
(covert).
Thus, in the case of sexual behavior, one could distinguish between sexual
acts (overt) and mere sexual
feelings (covert), and one could subsume both of them under the term “behavior”. However, this usage also has its drawbacks and, in any case, its implications concern only certain specialists. For the practical purposes of this introductory course, we do not have explore this possible distinction in all of its possible directions. Instead, we restrict ourselves to a relatively simple definition of our own.
